The Cornforth reagent (pyridinium dichromate or PDC) is a pyridinium salt of dichromate with the chemical formula [C 5 H 5 NH] 2 [Cr 2 O 7].This compound is named after the Australian-British chemist Sir John Warcup Cornforth (b. 1917) who introduced it in 1962.
Related salts are also known, such as 1-butylpyridinium chlorochromate, [C 5 H 5 N(C 4 H 9)][CrO 3 Cl] and potassium chlorochromate. PCC is commercially available. Discovered by accident , [ 3 ] the reagent was originally prepared via addition of pyridine into a cold solution of chromium trioxide in concentrated hydrochloric acid : [ 4 ]
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.

2,4-Di-tert-butylphenyl 1,4,5,8-tetracarboxynaphthalene diamide emits deep red light, together with DPA is used to produce white or hot-pink light, depending on their ratio; Rhodamine B emits red light. It is rarely used, as it breaks down in contact with CPPO, shortening the shelf life of the mixture. 5,12-Bis(phenylethynyl)naphthacene emits ...
In chemistry, a racemic mixture or racemate (/ r eɪ ˈ s iː m eɪ t, r ə-, ˈ r æ s ɪ m eɪ t / [1]) is one that has equal amounts of left- and right-handed enantiomers of a chiral molecule or salt. Racemic mixtures are rare in nature, but many compounds are produced industrially as racemates.
A 1919 illustration of a Leclanché cell. The Leclanché cell is a battery invented and patented by the French scientist Georges Leclanché in 1866. [1] [2] [3] The battery contained a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).
Tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride, commonly abbreviated to TBAF and n-Bu 4 NF, is a quaternary ammonium salt with the chemical formula (CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2) 4 N + F −. It is commercially available as the white solid trihydrate and as a solution in tetrahydrofuran. TBAF is used as a source of fluoride ion in organic solvents. [1]
